More randomness from the depths of my Drafts folder. It’s a pity I can’t harness my blog-cleaning energies and turn them to housework.

But First, an Important Announcement:
If you’re a crafter in the U.S. and you sell your work, go here and read about what you can do to stop a proposed law that would essentially make it illegal to sell handmade crafts. Zoiks.

Real Monsters – Mental Floss takes a look at the science behind some of the legends.

Best Ghost Photos Ever Taken. A gallery of some of the more “convincing” ghost photos. Some of them–particularly the older images–look more like sundogs or double exposures, and I wonder if they’d still be considered good examples of ghost photos if they didn’t have the patina of legend surrounding them. (In particular the alleged image of Lord Combermere makes me wonder: It looks like a double exposure, and the only evidence that it isn’t is the family’s word that it isn’t.) Still, creepy.
